== [[The Irate Gamer|Chris Bores]] is the Nerd's evil clone. ==
Who else would steal his jokes and his money? It's all part of his plan to take over the world and send the [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|Nerd]] out of business. [[The Irate Gamer]] is evil and must be stopped!
* Jossed, Irate is just the sophisticated man's way of saying stupid. Therefore [[The Irate Gamer]] isn't evil, he's just the Nerd's stupid clone.
** The Irate Gamer is a Bizzaro clone. The Nerd is somehow capable of creating a [[Talking Poo]] clone of himself; perhaps the Irate Gamer was his attempt to make an actual copy.
Line 20:
* At the end of the Atari 5200 review, he orders a joystick from Ebay. The outside of his house is shown as a level from the game [[Paperboy]]. The [[Player Character]] of Paperboy himself delivers the joystick to the Nerd (and hits him in the face).
* An [[Canon|official episode]] of the AVGN (An Angry Nerd Christmas Carol) is a ''direct continuation'' of the non-canonical Captain S episode. This implies that the events of that episode [[Absolutely Happened]] in the AVGN continuity -- the Nerd ''was'' [[Incredibly Lame Pun|taken back to the past]], and he did meet Captain S and save Santa Claus.
* At the beginning of the fight with [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|the Nostalgia Critic]], the outside view of the AVGN's house is shown. It consists of a monochromatic sky with 2D animated images of birds and bugs that could be sprites in a 1990s video game.
* At the beginning of the [[Street Fighter]] [[In Name Only|2010]] episode, we see the outside of the Nerd's house. Again, it is formed of 2D shapes that could be video game sprites. The Nerd is surprised by the "futuristic" objects that appeared which he cannot identify, but not by the general flatness of the environment, which is evidently how the environment around his house normally looks.
* At the end of the Game Glitches episode, the Glitch Gremlin has no difficulty in making the Nerd's game room (and even the Nerd himself) glitch out, as if everything was part of a videogame.
Line 50:
 
== The AVGN and the HVGN will be doing a joint review sometime in the future. ==
* The AVGN's already done it with [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]], after all. I'm thinking that they review a highly divisive game, where there are just as many good aspects as there are bad. And no "so-so" features either - the good features are really, really good, the bad features are really, really bad.
** Or he could team up with [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]]
** ... Oblivion?
Line 59:
== One day, The Nerd will make an exemption of the old-games only rule, and will review something recent. ==
* Like [[I Wanna Be the Guy]], where the Nerd will have the [[Heroic BSOD]] because almost every gameplay flaw that the Nerd complained in his past reviews ([[One-Hit Wonder]] and [[Fake Difficulty]] specifically) is what makes this game addicting.
** Became more likely recently, since [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] has reviewed [[Battlefield Earth]] ([[So Bad It's Horrible (Darth Wiki)/Video Games|Barf]]) recently, and since he's the AVGN's [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]], he will probably copy this.
** What do you call his ''[[Ghostbusters]]: The Game'' review, then?
** Technically James Rolfe reviewed the Ghostbusters game, not the Nerd - the Nerd being the character. If you notice it was a completely different review style (ie: no [[Cluster F-Bomb|Cluster F Bombs]]), hence the Nerd briefly showing up at the beginning of the review then leaving when he finds out the game isn't terrible.
Line 70:
== The Nerd and Board James are twin brothers. ==
Speaks for itself, really.
** Well, some of the Board James videos take place in the Nerd's room, and James had used similar powers as the Nerd. Maybe the Nerd is the [[Evil Twin|evil twin]] of Board James [[Sibling Yin-Yang|(or at least the angrier,]] [[Different As Night and Day|more pissed off at the world one).]]
 
== The Nerd and Board James are clones. ==
Line 112:
** Jossed for [[Board James]] because of this too, he wears the ring in every single episode.
*** Just because someone's asexual doesn't mean they're also aromantic. He could very well be asexual and still be getting married.
* Also Jossed in ''[[Plumbers Don't Wear Ties (Visual Novel)|Plumbers Don't Wear Ties]]''. At the very beginning with the girl, he seems pretty interested.
* He also looks eagerly at the door in his Atari Porn Games review, when he things a naked chick might show up. He's disapointed when she fails to appear, unlike the many game characters who ''have'' intruded on his reality.
* Maybe he's just supposed to be too obssesed with videogames to pay attention to anything else. In his cameo appearence in the [http://youtu.be/x6krCnZFXuM Piece of Meat video], at first the Nerd looks shocked and almost frightened about a girl so violently hitting on him, but he seems to enjoy it when she starts bitting him on the neck... until she '''actually''' [[I'm a Humanitarian|bite him on the neck]].
Line 134:
* Not to mention that "Jimmy" is an informal form of "James", as in [[James Rolfe]]. While he has stated that he and the Nerd aren't supposed to be the same person, that doesn't mean that they can't necessarily both be named James - in the Nostalgia Critic's Nicktoons review, it's heavily implied that the Critic's real name is Doug, the same as his actor's.
* In the Winter Games episode, he does try to type the name "JAMES" in the name entry screen, but the game only allows him four letters. So, it's not too farfetched to think that he's supposed to be called James too.
** In the [[Spider -Man]] review, Spidey refers to him as James at one point.
* NERRRDDD!!!!!
 
Line 164:
 
== The Power Glove is [[Lethal Joke Weapon|not nearly as useless as it seems]] ==
It one-shotted [[A Nightmare Onon Elm Street (Film)|Freddy Krueger]], and it allowed the Nerd to accomplish the otherwise impossible tasks of landing the plane in [[Top Gun]] and beating [[Enemy Without|Dark]] [[Final Boss|Link]] in [[Zelda II: theThe Adventure of Link (Video Game)|Zelda II]], despite its reputation for being [[So Bad It's Horrible (Darth Wiki)|a non-functional piece of garbage]]. Clearly, there's something greater about it in the Angry Video Game Nerd universe; perhaps it's a sentient item, a [[Chaotic Neutral]] being in the form of a peripheral for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], with power enough to win any game but instead considering it [[It Amused Me|funnier]] to be completely useless and frustrating and to see the Nerd's reactions to its failures, but from time to time shows its true power against an incredibly difficult game situation (perhaps seeing a [[Worthy Opponent]]). The incident with Freddy might have been [[All Just a Dream]], but equally likely is that the Power Glove had too much "fun" planned for the Nerd to let Freddy kill him, so it inserted itself into the dream to allow the Nerd's survival.
 
== The Angry Video Game Nerd was the first/one of the first victims of [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|the]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Entity.]] ==
The Angry Video Game Nerd has not only fought off a slew of Hollywood monsters, but is a master at video games(need I remind you of the Nintoaster?) Who else on Earth would be more of a threat to {{spoiler|a glitch from a video game?}}
